A worthy successor to the Aero GTE Baitrunners which had run their course, this handsome forest-green trio have 4.9:1 gear ratios plus capacities from 240m to 380m of 0.35mm diameter line. Features include XT-7 body and rotor, Zinc Diecast gear, Varispeed plus Cold Forged Aluminium main and spare spools. We’re proud to declare this the best Baitrunner yet at such a price.

Features

• Super Stopper II - With the reel set in anti-reverse mode you'll find zero free-play on the handle thanks to Super Stopper II. Unerringly positive every time, its practical benefits include micro increment settings of quiver tips or specialist bite indicators and faster hook setting.
• Power Roller - The special design of the Shimano Power Roller significantly reduces line twist during the retrieve and is a big advantage when using thin mono and braid.
• Floating Shaft II - The key friction area on most fixed spool reels is where the spool drive shaft meets the pinion. Shimano designers have overcome this by reducing a large percentage of surface area contact, and incorporating bearings on either side of the shaft. The resultant design leaves the shaft in a "floating" position, considerably improving efficiency and longevity.
• S-System - Smooth, Silent, Strong S-System Represents Shimano?s initial philosophy on which many of our fixed spool reels have been designed. The three basic ideas that are inherent in the S-Concept are: Smooth, Silent and Strong.
• S-Guard - Specially designed guards are attached to the rotor and the body, which prevent the accumulation of water and also give added protection against accidental bumps and knocks.
• S-Arm Cam - Slack line around the line roller is the basic cause of problems during the cast. A newly designed roller incorporates a protruding lower surface, which helps prevent slack line, virtually eliminating the problem.
• S-Drag - The drag washers are made of pure carbon. These provide a smooth performance from zero to maximum power and also offer excellent durability.
• S-Spool - S-System spools are cold forged from aluminium alloy. The cold forging process creates a lightweight spool with increased structural strength. The addition of a spool ring, made from titanium-coated Zirconia, which is ten times harder than stainless steel, gives the lip added resistance to abrasion and damage.
• A-RC Spool - A spool design with a V-shape spool lip ensuring that the line comes off the reel in smaller loops for further and more accurate casting. The AR-C spool will minimise the risk of backlash.
• Dyna-Balance - Reduces reel wobble and allows produces ultra smooth performance.
• Baitrunner Lever - Baitrunner was a breakthrough in big fish angling - a feature that has proved so beneficial that it has become a standard on big fish reels. Baitrunner is a lever located on the rear of the reel that allows the reel to be set so that line is released in controlled free-spool.
• Varispeed - Good quality line lay is the most important feature for precise, long and accurate casting. Shimano?s revolutionary ?Varispeed? System consists of two specially designed gears. One is oval and the other a remarkable square shape!
